Rob Browne Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) On the weekend my youngest fella, Ruairi, had a go at an S hook made from a horse shoe. He straightened it, I welded the toe clip down, he re-sectioned it to a squarer profile, we did the twist, I showed him one taper, he did the other, I showed him one hook, he did the other. Overall I only did some of the cleaning up but he really did 85% of the work. Great work for a little fella. My eldest, Connor, is working on a miners candle spike which I will proudly display when he is finished. A VERY proud father Edited June 30, 2009 by rmcpb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Dean Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 OK, I give up....which of the tapers did you do and which did your son do? Welcome in my shop anytime. What you are doing will last WAY past your days here, something he can tell his kids. You are Blessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Fantastic......As a father to see my boys in the forge with me is a very proud moment and for what has been said before, what they and I make will last a very long time and will hold priceless memories. Great stuff all the best cheers Bully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 What a terrific day. I had to look awfully close to see what I think are less skilled marks and guess which are which. I wouldn't want to put money on it though. A few more years and you'll be asking him for tips. The best times in my life were working with Dad, for him too I think.

Old South Creations Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Nice work! Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Browne Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 That's what I say to them Frosty. Especially when they move in on the forge after I get it going and only get half an hour at the anvil before they push me out. Sometimes I think they are cuckoos But, I wouldn't have it any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
